Path:    Our Technology     We are a specialist IT infrastructure and integration technology consultancy We are IBM-certified technical specialists in a range of Websphere, data information and business process middleware software, such as MQSeries, Websphere Message Broker, Websphere Application Server and DB2. We are a UNIX and Windows O/S specialist company, although we can also offer comprehensive experience of building MQ applications on Z/OS and VM/CMS for TPF.   We develop our own software solutions ECG™ Enterprise-level Service Monitoring ECG™ is designed to be a robust and reliable service monitor, that can be highly-customised to adapt to customer needs. The basic product solution incorporates a hub and spoke architecture built on Eclipse technology. A central windows-based hub receives monitoring information from a range of agents that are installed on remote servers. Service monitoring data can be captured from a wide range of software components (such as MQ queue managers, DB2 databases, operating systems and Message Brokers) as well as custom-written programs or scripts. This is a low-cost and customisable monitoring solution. We charge a fixed annual licensing fee of £15,000, which provides the client with unlimited product use. This fee also includes regular product upgrades and bolt-ons, so that over time the solution will provide a complete service monitoring solution. ECG™ Server Configuration This software product is designed to capture detailed information about a server installation and configuration, which can be used at any time to rebuild a complete server image via an automated batch program and a central software store. Server configuration information can be plugged into an ECG monitor, to provide a real-time database of server software and build levels. This is also a very useful and efficient tool for disaster recovery.   We understand the layers of complexity buried within MQSeries. One of the secrets of MQSeries' success is that it hides the complexities of socket programming, network service recovery, syncpoint control and logging, O/S memory management and data integration. However, these components are still buried beneath the covers and can affect system performance, scalability, operability and integrity. We can fine-tune MQ queue managers and their associated objects to ensure the MQ infrastructure is able to meet the demands of both current and future business.
